And I do agree: her lunch was MUCH healthier then what the school gave to her.
Peanut butter is banned from many schools (at least around here) because of the incidence of peanut allergies which may lead to anaphylactic (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) shock in severe cases.
It is only the cynic who claims “to speak the truth” at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth… He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which “cannot bear the truth”. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Ethics.
